Dianthus plumarius, L. A native of stony and bushy 

 hillsides, from Germany to Northern Asia. It is a 

 frequent garden plant, and has often been recorded as 

 a semi-naturalised escape on old walls. 



Gypsophila muralis, L. Native of dry stony places 

 in Northern and Central Europe, and in Northern Asia. 

 It has occurred once or twice in Britain as an escape 

 from gardens. 



Gypsophila paniculata, L. Native of dry stony places 

 from Central Europe to Siberia. Not infrequently re- 

 corded from waste ground in Britain. In some cases 

 of garden origin, in others more or less obviously 

 introduced with foreign grain. It is a cornfield weed in 

 many parts of Europe. 

 t 



Gypsophila porrigeus, Boiss. A cornfield weed of 

 the East, several times recorded in connection with 

 grain-sifting aliens in Britain. 



Gypsophila viscosa, Murray. A weed of the Orient 

 communicated among casuals from Hull by Mr. Eraser 

 Robinson. 



Holosteum umbellatum, L. Native of dry pastures 

 from Europe to Western Asia, but more common over 

 this area as a weed of cultivated fields. In England it 

 has only been found on walls and roofs in Norfolk and 

 Suffolk, and may be an introduction or a survival. It 

 can hardly be called a native from such habitats alone. 

 In the United States it has become abundantly naturalised 

 in a few places.
